Back in the room, Ceres was transcribing the results of the earlier examination to a special file.
The dragon crests that only exist in Kiryu and Junkiryu are thought to be due to their attribute magic, and the colors and shapes vary from each individual. Fire attributes usually are red, and yellow for lightning, but the same red can be bright or dark, and the yellow could be almost yellow-green or orange tint. In terms of the shape of the dragon crest, parent-offspring and blood relatives often resemble each other, but it’s unlikely for them to be identical.
The dragon crest examination is conducted immediately after enrollment to record such information for identification and prevent any doubles in unlikely events.
As one would expect, nobody’s foolish enough to falsely enroll a Zatsuryu as a Junkiryu, but there are still those who do so occasionally.
There had been several cases of an adult Kiryu, who had already enrolled and graduated from school attempting to enroll as a child.
You might think that people wouldn’t be able to tell by their appearance, but people with Mana grow up especially, and in some cases, they look as young as ten years old, even though they’re tens, or sometimes, hundreds in age. Sometimes, it’s impossible to judge when people say that they’re the child who graduated decades ago and enrolled again.
So, the school keeps data on the dragon crests of everyone, including the previous graduates, and classifies them according to color and shape so the individuals can be identified.
Ceres who sorts the documents with her accustomed hands recalled the new student. Lina.
The color was a beautiful red and the dragon crest was well shaped. It’s healthy and has no particular problems. But, something’s catching her attention. Having seen hundreds of dragon crests so far, Ceres’ senses complained that something was out of place.
Unable to grasp the discomfort, she was left feeling bewildered.
She has another problem. Lina hasn’t been educated in language, or manners, which are considered common knowledge among the Kiryu.
For example, the clothes the boy was wearing, were clearly made of mana matter from Lina’s magic. It’s the equivalent of a Kiryu declaring “This is my favorite,” when giving clothes made from their mana.
Close friends may exchange ribbons or other items as a sign of friendship, but it’s more common between lovers.
Gifting their own magic to the opposite sex is considered a confession, or proposal. That’s often the case. And by wearing the items containing the other’s Mana, you declare to everyone that you’re in a relationship. They’re treated as if they are.
Dragons have few females. Women in Kiryu are also far fewer than men. Even Lina, a Junkiryu would have Kiryu men fight to have her as their wife.
In the middle of this state, a boy has been wearing proof that she favors him. It’s not hard to imagine what steps the proud Kiryu men would take.
Ceres made a note to tell Lina that and warn her.
Zatsuryu is far inferior to the Kiryu. If a Kiryu gets serious, his fragile existence would vanish in an instant. If anything happened to that boy, Lina would mourn.
–It’s impossible for a Zatsuryu to beat a Kiryu or a Junkiryu. That’s Ceres’ and this world’s common sense.

The seniors, the ladies waiting for us at the entrance hall–Lina and the girls were baptized in the girls’ dorm and the ladies squirm. I got to enjoy an extravagant — Truly extravagant — feast of a dinner that I never experienced in my life.
I thought that it would be a full course where starters and main dishes were brought out in order based on my previous life, but it seems that the meals in this world are served buffet style. With such a large amount of food laid out, you can take and eat what you want.
This supply style is possible because in this world, many women are gourmands, and each family has their own likes and dislikes. Seems like the Shinryu’s ancestral blood has influenced them
I’m the type who can eat anything, but Lina-chan likes meat and hates veggies. Mira-chan said that most of the fire Shinryu blood are meat lovers.
Speaking of which, Nasha-chan said, “Why are you eating with us when you’re just a Zatsuryu?!” She was shocked, but since I got permission, I didn’t hesitate. The other Zatsuryu seems to be eating in a separate room.
But, Lina-chan was told we could eat together, and I enjoy eating with cute girls more, so I’m intruding here.
Seeing how much I was eating, Nasha-chan said “How can you fit so much food in your body?!” And she was surprised again It’s delicious so I’ll eat as much as I want. Nasha-chan, you won’t grow if you don’t eat you know?
「 New students, come here. Let me show you some of the facilities this dorm boasts 」
Melody-oneesama, a sharp-looking beauty with a green ponytail, called Lina-chan and the girls together, so I followed along. They basically ignored me and didn’t say anything, so I didn’t hesitate to come.
「 Do you know why the royal capital was established here? 」
Melody-oneesama asked me while I was moving, but of course, I didn’t know. The geography or the history of this kingdom never came into my thoughts. It’s empty.
「 Of course. It’s that and that 」
「 That? Father told me about it, I was looking forward to it too! 」
「 You two seem to know about it. Yes, it’s in the capital, and this city is just a short distance from the capital. Many dragons fought over that thing and as a result, the strongest dragon made the area his territory. They say that’s how the kingdom has started
Huh? What’s the history?
I’m interested in the thing that many dragons flock to, I’m a bit put off by the overly barbaric style of ruling where the strongest in the fight becomes a king. Is that what the proud Kiryu is like?
「 And so, this is what you’ve been waiting for! The healing spot of our school. 」
At the far end of the dorm, Melody-oneesama opens an extravagant door.
「 –It’s a big bath! A natural open-air hot spring with running water from the source! 」
「 Lina-chan! Let’s go right away!! I can’t hold it anymore! Hyawaaa 」
「 Huh? 」
「 Why are you going in first? Wait! The first bath is mine! 」
「 Ahahaha! I guess everyone’s looking forward to the hot spring so much. 」
I dashed unintentionally and everyone chased after me.
But, but you know.,..
I’ve been waiting for baths as a former Japanese for decades!!
Nobody can stop me now!! Here I come!!
■
「 Haa, this is the best 」
The women’s bath is heavily guarded, and I get to enjoy a relaxing soak in a natural hot spring with cute girls. What’s this, heaven?
The only way to bathe in this spa is to turn off the magic clothes and straight into the bath. Dirt on my body is erased using attribute magic, so there’s no need to wash my body before entering.
There are no towels or anything like that, so we bathe openly without hiding anything…Yet for some reason, everyone’s wearing their panties.
As was the case with the physical exam, (dragon crest exam), it seems that only the underwear is their last defense. They’re not reacting at all when I watch Mira-chan and the senior lady’s tits flat in the hot springs. Lina-chan’s face fills right in my palm, but her tits surely will get bigger than her face.
I wonder if she would get angry if I touched them.
I feel like my desires are leaking more and more due to the pleasure of the hot springs after a long while. Much the same as usual? No, maybe.
「 Geez, how can you be so brazen despite being a Zatsuryu. 」
「 What’s the issue, Nasha-chan. She’s Lina-chan’s favorite, so it shouldn’t matter~ 」
「 Zatzsusyu has to take a bath with other Zatsuryu! You’re contaminating our hot springs! 」
「 –Did you call him dirty? 」
Huh? Why is Lina-chan upset?
「 Yes, let me be clear! He’s being so cheeky despite being a Zatsuryu! If you’re his owner, then discipline him properly! 」
「 That’s none of your business. If you’re getting in our way… 」
「 You want to do this?! Very well, I take your challenge!! 」
Lina-chan got up from the hot water and used her magic, and then Nasha-chan strengthened her magic in response. The fire and ice magic is about to leap out of their bodies any moment.
「 –Hey, you two. We’re in a hot spring so don’t fight 」
I interrupted them, holding Lina-chan’s right hand and Nasha-chan’s left hand. Okay, let’s soak yourself down to your shoulders. Sit down, sit… Sit…
「 Hey! You’re just a Zatsuryu! Let go of me, you insolent man!! 」
「 No. No fighting in the hot spring. That’s a universal rule. I won’t let go until you quiet down 」
「 If it’s a rule then it can’t be helped 」
Nasha-chan’s squealing in my ear. Nasha-chan’s skin is so smooth and nice. I’m stroking her belly, but she’s so agitated that she doesn’t seem to notice.
Lina-chan on the other hand is already out of her combat mode and is leaning against me. Her cheeks are red. Did the hot spring heat her up?
The right side is slightly warmer and the left side is more like a water bath, perhaps because of the magic leaking out. Nasha, can you hold off your magic a bit? The hot spring will get cold.
「 That was quick. Mira tried to stop them, but didn’t make it in time 」
Mira-chan stirs up the hot water and comes to us. Her hugs balloons shake a lot in the hot water.
「 I can’t use attribute magic. So I worked hard to strengthen our bodies 」
「 Hmph, no matter how hard a Zatsuryu works, you’ll never be a match against us, it’s futile 」
「 But this guy’s stronger than you? Are Zatsuryu really below the Kiryu? 」
「 W-What did you say?! I can’t ignore that you call me lower than a Zatsuryu!! 」
「 No fighting in the hot spring. I’ll get angry 」
「 Hmm❤ 」
「 Hyauu?! 」
I slide my hand between their legs and grope them over their underwear.
「 Hmm ❤ I-I’m sorry ❤ Ah! 」
「 W-Why is a Zatsuryu…my…hauuu!! 」
The hot spring around Lina’s crotch is getting hotter, while the water around Nasha-chan’s crotch is getting colder.
I want to fuck them both here but I’m in a hot spring, and there are people around, so I have to hold myself back.
「 Eh? Eh? Eh? You’re a Zatsuryu, right? Huh? 」
Mira-chan sits in front of me, blinking her eyes in surprise.
Ah, shit. Before I knew it, I had an erection. Mira-chan’s looking right at it, but oh well. This is what we call naked socializing.
